Dec 23 Deck The Halls (And Your Wedding!)

And here you find us, on the home stretch to Christmas! This brings with it a plethora of goodies, glitter and overwhelming excitement, and we’re genuinely at our happiest this time of year. However, it does bring with it some sad news – it means our advent is over! We’ve genuinely felt absolute joy in bringing you such treats and hope you’ve enjoyed them as much as we have – and hope they’ve helped you make your dreams in some way! Without further ado, here’s our third and final instalment of ASTW’s Advent Calendar!

17th December: The super stylish Redamancy Wedding Planning have offered us a 20% discount on all of their wedding planning packages booked before 31st January. Whether you want the full shebang, or you’re just searching for the perfect venue, Charlotte can sort you out (and make you feel so stress-free whilst doing so!). She’s also got an amazing eye for styling and set-up, so she really can help with any part of your day! Just quote “ASTW Christmas 20% Off”, and you’ll be in a wooooorld of pure imagination…

18th December: We muscled our way in on the Advent by flexing our creativity glands – and we’re pretty proud of what they produced! Thanks to Meg and Ellie, we’ve got some cross-stitch templates for you to download and enjoy. We adore cross-stitch and love the injection of youth it’s been given recently, with more and more people turning to it for home décor and gifts. We played around with some modern ideas to bring you a few different designs, whether for your own wedding or as a gorgeous and heartfelt present for a pal!

19th December:LoveLi Design are so aptly named, as they excel at two things: design and loveliness. Living up to this, they’ve given us a 15% off discount with the code “ASTW15” on site, meaning you can grab loads of amazing cards, props, and home décor discounted (we want LoveLi’s designs all over our office walls!). She’s also offering 15% off her bespoke design service – which she never usually discounts – if you quote “ASTW15” on enquiry. Why not get her to design you something completely unique for your wedding suite?

20th December: ‘tis the season for eating and drinking, and long may that continue. The stunning Jervaulx Abbey have given us the chance to win a voucher for their award-winning afternoon tea for two, set in the dreamiest of settings in the midst of the Yorkshire Dales. You have until Tuesday 27th December to like and share the original post, when a winner will be picked at random!

21st December: We’re a champion of bespoke beauty and DIY at And So To Wed, and Bespoke Vintage Castle embody both of those in buckets. Creators of gorgeous sparkly wonders, they’re now sharing their secrets with you lovely people! In the calendar, there’s a accessory masterclass and a brooch making workshop, and Betty is offering us 40% off both of those with the quote “ASTW”, if booked before 31st January. Learn a new skill, apply it to your wedding, or take your girls for a hen do – its bound to be fun, fresh, and very giggly!

22nd December: Although we cocoon ourselves in the fluffy glittery warmth of weddings, they can be super stressful or intimidating, and a helping hand will never go amiss. Luckily for us, Lucy Wright super generously offered us a free 2 hour champagne consultation for one lucky winner who liked and shared the post on the day. We can’t wait to see what magic they create!

23rd December:Farm. Styling have offered us an amazing 20% off discount on all wedding flowers booked with styling, when the deposit is paid before 31st January. Sarah’s styling and floral creations can elevate your day to the next level, a whimsical wonderland of greenery and elegance. We’re super excited to be on board with her!

24th December: O Sarah Wayte, O Sarah Wayte, how lovely are your photos? A bubbly photography maestro, Sarah’s super talented at getting the loveliest, natural and relaxed photos from your big day. Her photos ooze fun and romance. She’s also super generous, as she’s offering a 15% discount on full day digital packages for 2017 weddings. To access this incredible offer, quote “CHRISTMASEVEOFFER” in your correspondence with Sarah – just take note that the contract and fees must be paid by 28th February 2017, and that the offer excludes travel, accommodation, albums etc. See what magic you can create!

And that’s a wrap! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our advent, and to everyone who took advantage and showed our vendors some love. We love making you guys happy! It’s been an amazing December and we couldn’t have done it without all of you. Happy Christmas!
